Postcard Marketing Handbook
Generate Twice the Sales — at Half the Cost — with These Simple and Amazingly Effective Postcard Marketing Secrets
Why pay thousands of dollars for fancy direct mail packages that cost you a small fortune, take forever to mail, and produce little or no response…
…when you can generate all the leads and sales you need — with quick and easy postcard mailings — that cost you only a few hundred dollars each!
May I let you in on the direct mail industry’s “dirty little secret” … the discovery of which can skyrocket your response rates while saving you a fortune?
The secret is that ad agencies, copywriters, and other vendors routinely push clients to the marketing programs that are most lucrative for the vendor – and NOT the most cost-effective for the marketers.
Big surprise, right?
- Copywriters, for example, talk clients who can’t really afford it into hiring them to write, at outrageous fees, elaborate multi-component direct mail packages – and fancy magalogs – that cost a bloody fortune.
- And of course, even when the mailing flops for the client who should never have done it in the first place, the copywriter doesn’t suffer – but instead, collects a nice fat fee.
- List brokers, printers, letter shops, ad agencies, copywriters, and graphic artists all love creating big mega-mailings, because it’s fun and lucrative.
But often, what works best for small businesses is something exactly the opposite of these mega-mailers….
Little pieces of paper: tiny self-mailers that cost pennies apiece but generate big ROI for marketers.
I’m talking, of course, about the humble postcard.
A piece of stiff paper stock, measuring only a few inches square, postcards may seem simple to write and design – but watch out!
The limited space for copy and graphics actually makes postcard marketing more challenging in some ways than writing a sales letter — or even a 20-page magalog!
Postcards can achieve near miraculous results for your business and your clients – IF you know what works (and what doesn’t) in postcard marketing.
And now I want to share with you these “forgotten” secrets of successful postcard copy and design — if you will let me.
Make money… by mastering the “lost art” of postcard marketing
If you are a MARKETER, knowing how to get results with a simple postcard can save you a fortune in creative and production fees – and generate a flood of new business leads — at a fraction of the cost of other direct mail formats.
If you are a COPYWRITER who knows how to write postcards that work, you can offer your clients a low-cost alternative to other more expensive forms of marketing.
When your postcard works like gangbusters for the client, you’ll win their praise, loyalty – and their repeat business.
Yet for so many copywriters and marketers who have been trained only to write magalogs, Web sites, and multi-page sales letters, the art of creating “short-form” DM – postcards — is largely a lost art.
And that’s where we can help.
In our e-book, the Postcard Marketing Handbook, Lina Penalosa and I show how to succeed at postcard marketing – and write winning postcards that absolutely knock your client’s or boss’s socks off while setting new sales records.
